Robert made the list in his replies, not sure how configuration
systems/logging/remote login/etc compared and how useful they are but we
have several flavors relying on lightdm and having their own greeters,
it would be nice to be able to keep supporting those communities and
share that piece of infrastructure between Ubuntu variants (it's not
likely that we invest work on several codebases so if we switch to gdm
we are likely going to stop working on lightdm)

Cheers,
